HydraFacial MD® is a non-invasive, multi-step aesthetic treatment for deep cleansing and hydration of the skin. It combines the benefits of hydradermabrasion, chemical peeling, vortex-extraction of sebum, intense hydration, and antioxidant protection.
The HydraFacial Syndeo treatment uses “super serums” packed with antioxidants, peptides, and hyaluronic acid to nourish, hydrate, combat signs of aging, and protect the skin from environmental stressors—leaving it refreshed and rejuvenated.
Our clinic is equipped with two authentic, state-of-the-art HydraFacial Syndeo systems with Vortex-Fusion® serum delivery. We were among the first clinics to acquire these advanced devices upon their introduction to Europe.
It is suitable for all skin types, for both women and men. It can be applied to:
It is also indicated in cases of mild acne, provided that the dermatologist deems it appropriate. HydraFacial Syndeo is an ideal preparatory treatment before both invasive and non-invasive aesthetic procedures. It is the perfect skin-cleansing and radiance-boosting treatment before any special occasion or outing. The treatment can be performed year-round.
The HydraFacial® hydradermabrasion treatment combines cleansing, sebum extraction, hydration, and antioxidant protection in a single procedure.
1st Stage – Skin Cleansing (Facial Cleansing)
In this initial stage, the skin is prepared with specialized cleansers tailored to each skin type, ensuring it is ready for the next phase of hydradermabrasion.2nd Stage – Lymphatic Drainage (Optional Stage)
The enhanced HydraFacial treatment includes lymphatic massage using a dedicated handpiece, which activates the lymphatic system to improve drainage and contributes to skin rejuvenation.3rd Stage – Hydradermabrasion
During this stage, dermabrasion is performed across the entire face. Combined with negative water pressure, it removes dead skin cells and makeup residues that may clog the pores. The procedure is also applied to the lips for exfoliation and cleansing.4th Stage – Chemical Peeling (Glycolic/Salicylic Acid)
A blend of glycolic and salicylic acids is infused, which brightens and smooths the skin. Exfoliation and removal of dead cells also occur at this stage, renewing the skin. The intensity of the chemical peel varies based on the skin’s condition and tolerance. This step also includes lip exfoliation.
5th Stage – Sebum Extraction (Vortex-Extraction)
Sebum is extracted using the vortex-extraction method, where a spiral handpiece and simultaneous water infusion deeply cleanse the pores and remove sebum and blackheads. Manual extraction may be performed where necessary.6th Stage – Hydration and Antioxidant Protection
Once the skin is fully prepared to absorb active ingredients, a serum enriched with hyaluronic acid, vitamins, antioxidants, and peptides is infused for deep hydration and antioxidant protection. The process also includes the lips. Lastly, an eye area booster with a peptide complex is applied to smooth fine lines and wrinkles.7th Stage – LED Light Therapy (Optional Stage)
LED light therapy is used either to soothe acne-prone skin with its antimicrobial effects or to stimulate anti-aging benefits and accelerate skin cell renewal.8th Stage – Hydrating and Anti-Aging Mask (Face Masque)
In the final stage, a mask suitable for each skin type—hydrating or anti-aging—is applied to soothe the skin and reduce irritation. For acne-prone skin, soothing masks targeting sebum control and pore reduction are used.

The treatment can last from 50 minutes to 1.5 hours, depending on the skin’s needs and the areas being treated. The dermatologist will determine the frequency and number of sessions after evaluation. After the session, you can immediately return to your daily activities.
The treatment protocol recommended by dermatologist Dr. Theocharis includes 3 sessions, spaced one month apart. Thereafter, maintenance sessions are advised at less frequent intervals, depending on the specific needs of each skin type.
HydraFacial has the advantage of zero downtime, so you can return to your daily activities immediately. Sunscreen use is essential for the first few days after the treatment, and sun exposure should be approached with care for the first 3 days. In cases where manual extraction is performed, mild redness may appear on the face, which typically subsides within a few hours.
- Avoid sun exposure during the first few days following the session.
- Use sunscreen daily.
- It is recommended to keep the skin clean and free of makeup for a few hours,
- allowing the active ingredients to remain on the skin. After several hours, you may wash your face normally.
- If you are using topical medications on your face, always consult your dermatologist for application instructions.
- Avoid intense physical activity on the same day as the treatment.
- Use clean bed linens and towels.
HydraFacial is perfectly compatible with all aesthetic dermatology treatments. It is specifically recommended prior to injectable procedures such as Botox, hyaluronic acid, and both autologous and heterologous mesotherapy, as well as other treatments, to achieve optimal results. In cases where HydraFacial follows injectable treatments, a waiting period of 20 to 30 days is usually required.
